Full Stack Software Developer - Contract

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Full Stack Software Developer to join our engineering team in Cork. As a contractor, you will be a key contributor to high-impact projects, focusing on building scalable, secure, and AI-enhanced web applications. You will work across the entire development lifecycle-from architecting robust back-end services to crafting intuitive front-end interfaces.

This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives in agile environments and has a "security-first" mindset, particularly as we align with evolving EU regulatory frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Development: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance full-stack applications using modern frameworks (e.g., React/Angular on the front end and Node.js/Java/.NET on the back end).

• Cloud Infrastructure: Architect and deploy services using AWS, Azure, or GCP, leveraging Kubernetes and Docker for containerization.

• AI Integration: Implement and optimize AI-assisted tools and machine learning APIs to enhance application functionality and developer productivity.

• API Design: Build and document secure, scalable RESTful or GraphQL APIs to support internal and external integrations.

• Quality & Security: Write clean, testable code and maintain high standards for security (DevSecOps) and data privacy (GDPR/DORA compliance).

• Collaboration: Work closely with UX designers, product managers, and other stakeholders to translate complex requirements into technical solutions.

Technical Requirements

• Front End: Proficiency in React.js, Vue.js, or Angular, along with TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3/SASS.

• Back End: Strong experience in Node.js, Python (Django/Flask), Java (Spring Boot), or C# (.NET Core).

• Database: Experience with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) databases.

• Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Terraform (IaC), and cloud-native services.

• Tools: Proficiency in Git, Jira, and AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Cork's key industries: FinTech, MedTech, or BioPharma.

• Knowledge of distributed systems and microservices architecture.

• Familiarity with regulatory compliance standards like NIS2 or DORA.

• Strong communication skills for stakeholder management within a hybrid team structure.
